What to expect
Brain metastases present some of the most complex challenges in cancer care — clinically, emotionally and practically. This one-day hybrid study day offers a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of how we diagnose, treat and support patients living with brain metastases.
Through expert-led sessions, interactive case discussions and multidisciplinary insight, you will explore treatment decision-making, acute oncology presentations, ambulatory care, rehabilitation, survivorship, psychosocial support and end-of-life considerations.
Whether you join online or in person, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how different teams work together to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life for patients and their families.
